Just curious which teams are leading the boards this year, and who isnt.

I think in many respects we will see the same ol traditional powers near the top of the heap. In the WestPac, I really like the program that Berlin has built and will take them as the WestPac and D-5 champions this year. Of course North Star and a couple other teams will have much to say about that. I think the WestPac from top to bottom will be more competitive. Teams like Shade, Roickwood and CV may still be trailing the field but will be a tougher out than they have been in the past.


I understand it's a down year for J-town. Have not seen Penn Cambria play yet this season but being told they are quite impressive and many pick them as the team to beat in the LHC. I'm sure McCort and Forest Hills will be solid as usual and Richland will be battling for league supremecy as well.

If I had to do an LHAC ranking through one week.

1. Richland 1-0
2. Penn Cambria 1-0
3. Forest Hills 1-0
4. Bishop McCort 1-0
5. Cambria Heights 0-1
6. Johnstown 0-1
7. Somerset 1-0
8. Bishop Guilfoyle 1-0
9. Central Cambria 0-1
10. Bishop Carroll 0-1
11. Bedford 0-1
12. Westmont 0-1

My Laurel Highlands Power Rankings after Week 1 would look something like this:

1. Penn Cambria 1-0
2. Forest Hills 1-0
3. Richland 1-0
4. Bishop McCort 1-0
5. Cambria Heights 0-1
6. Johnstown 0-1
7. Bishop Guilfoyle 1-0
8. Somerset 1-0
9. Bedford 0-1
10. Westmont 0-1
11. Central Cambria 0-1
12. Bishop Carroll 0-1
